		<title>A poem that moved me. . .</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	
Stream of Life 
	The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day
runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures. 
	It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth
in numberless blades of grass
and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers. 
	It is the same [...]]]></description>

		<title>Illusion (there is a theme here)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	  &#8220;Our minds are continually active, fabricating an anxious, usually self-preoccupied veil which partially conceals the world.&#8221; Iris Murdoch
	 I love this because it feels so true for me. I am not proud of my continually active fabricating mind but I am proud of my honesty with myself around my anxious self-preoccupied challenges. It [...]]]></description>

		<title>What is real?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	 &#8220;Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn&#8217;t go away.&#8221; - Philip K. Dick
	  A challenging concept.

		<title>Freewill and human behavior.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	I have friend who always dates the wrong type of guy; usually extremely good looking sometimes violent steroid abusers with very little education.  Every relationship she has always ends horribly.  She consistently chooses the same type of guy to date, and she has expressed to me that she knows she keeps making the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Video games and fireballs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Building on my Déjà vu house key idea, here is my latest crazy spiritual concept:
	Suppose there are multiple universes, and as we advance spiritually we jump from universe to universe.  Your life, who you are right now, is actually one instance in an endless string of lives you have inhabited.  
	It’s like playing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Déjà vu and my house key</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	I had a thought about what déjà vu might be.   
	Physicists believe that there are alternate realities all around us.  Part of this theory is that every instant our universe splits into an infinite number of alternate universes.  Some have extrapolated on this idea, proposing that universes close to our own [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	&#8220;Just think of the trees: They let the birds perch and fly, with no intention to call them when they come and no longing for their return when the fly away. If people&#8217;s hearts can be like the trees, they will not be off the Way.&#8221; - Langya

		<title>The Wal-Mart mentality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	I hate going to Wal-mart.  The average Wal-mart shopper is poor, overweight, unhygienic, and ugly.  They aren’t like me.  I’m better than the average loser.
	I can convince myself of my superiority when I’m home.  I can watch the beautiful people on television and delude myself into thinking I am one of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Communicating about spirit: is there a future in it?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	I will start off by saying I haven&#8217;t been here since November of last year. Every now and then I wonder if there is anything new going on here at osscast. Spirituality, seems like maybe the most interesting discussion topic in the world  after sex. And yet there is a surprising silence on this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Giving Thanks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	  Thanksgiving is two days away and this holiday usually gives me pause to think of those things I am thankful for. I would love to hear from others what they are thankful for as well.
  I am thankful for the people in my life who I love (as best as I understand [...]]]></description>
